Pep Rallies, Spirit Animals, and Courageous Kindness

 In this joyful and encouraging episode of Courageous Love, Kristin and Mark kick things off with a lighthearted chat about morning drinks (spoiler: neither of them are coffee drinkers!) before recapping the first Maryvale pep rally of the year — complete with red vs. gray team cheers and student “spirit animals.”

Then, they welcome their first-ever guest: Angela Balto, Maryvale’s Student Council President. Angela shares what people might not know about her, a wild story about coming face-to-face with a bear in Alaska, her dream Spirit Week idea, and her surprisingly deep favorite quote from Cinderella

Angela’s reflection on courage and kindness perfectly captures the heart of this podcast — that courage doesn’t always have to be loud, and love often shows up in quiet, powerful ways.
